If it’s built as well as the deck, it should be great
- Comment on Steam Hardware Announcement 7 hours ago:
FSR4 only runs on RDNA 4. The Steam Machine has RDNA 3, so FSR3 is the limit
- Comment on Steam Hardware Announcement 7 hours ago:
1080p can look bad on a 1440p display though, since it doesn’t go evenly in and you’ll need good upscaling.
And that’s why it’s better to use 720p in the cases where you can’t do native 1440p.

There are currently 2 third party handhelds that are officially supported by SteamOS, so at least 2 manufacterers have taken them up on it so far.

Yes

If they keep it shut down I suspect individual states will split off as their own nations eventually.
- Comment on Logan Roy is objectively and factually a better father than Clark Kent 6 days ago:
Hey, so, I know those words sound really satisfying in that combination, but “objectively and factually” there’s so single system of morality nor metric of quality for fatherhood that anyone could judge by, so “objectively and factually”, your thesis is an opinion statement and by its very nature cannot be a fact or objective truth.
- Comment on Billionaires are extremists 1 week ago:
Well yeah, they exist at the extremes of society and push almost exclusively for their own further empowerment.
- Comment on My Dream of a Home Router / Server 1 week ago:
I suspect you could get the price on something like this down to maybe $100-$150. Basically a small low-power Intel box with an SSD and at least 8G of RAM could handle all of these services.
The hard part would be pre-configuring each of them and building/adapting software to make this kind of stuff easy for end users.
- Comment on [Discussion] What is the best rated 18+ anime you've seen? 1 week ago:
Girls On Film is the theme song still if you swap the DVD version to the Japanese audio for the intro
- Comment on [Discussion] What is the best rated 18+ anime you've seen? 1 week ago:
Yeah, that’s fair. Psycho Pass Season 1 was a complete banger.
- Comment on [Discussion] What is the best rated 18+ anime you've seen? 1 week ago:
Psycho Pass season 1 was phenomenal, but it kinda fell off after season 1.
I feel like Ghost In The Shell Standalone Complex holds up better, overall.
- Comment on [Discussion] What is the best rated 18+ anime you've seen? 1 week ago:
Probably Berserk

Happy to help!
- Comment on Every single time I think of restructuring my homelab storage. What do you use for storage engines and how does it benefit you? 2 weeks ago:
I just use mergerfs and SnapRAID so I can scale dynamically when I can afford new drives. Granted it’s all fully replaceable media files on my end, so I’m not obsessed with data integrity.
- Comment on Luke Cage is way to overpowerd to be a "street level" hero 2 weeks ago:
When people say “street-level hero”, what they typically mean is a hero who doesn’t have strong enough powers to be in the big leagues, think “fighting crime” rather than “fighting alien invaders/gods/interdimensional beings”
- Comment on Luke Cage is way to overpowerd to be a "street level" hero 2 weeks ago:
The only thing keeping Luke Cage from approaching Thor/Superman levels of OP is that he doesn’t really have a movement power. At best he can run really fast or jump really far, but he’s too conscientious to go launching himself all over the city like the Hulk. If he landed on somebody (or their car or whatever) he’d feel pretty bad about it, so it’s not really an option unless he’s in the middle of nowhere.

Likewise with Rage Against The Machine

Cigars are often for celebrations, are they not?
- Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits 3 weeks ago:
I highly doubt it’ll go smoothly. IMO what will happen is driving standards will rise, driving tests will become extremely tough and need to be repeated every few years, and self driving tech will get cheaper and most people will just summon cars like Waymo rather than bothering to remain liscensed. There will have to be an offramp, not a firm cutoff.
- Comment on [Episode] Gnosia - Episode 1 discussion 3 weeks ago:
There’s also the fact that the people can be un-frozen, so why not freeze and unfreeze people one at a time as you discover whether they’re Gnosia? That way the humans will be the majority the whole time.

And planets

Still too much pain relief. You see, if you simply torture women enough, all their children either come out perfectly or die for … reasons…
- Comment on Must my Jellyfin server be able to AV1 videos? 5 weeks ago:
It helps if your server can decode AV1, but you never need it to encode to AV1. Basically the main usecase for transcoding AV1 would be burning in ASS formatted subtitles, commonly used for anime. If you keep your anime in other codecs then you shouldn’t need to transcode AV1 ever unless you add more clients into the mix that can’t handle AV1 natively.
For what it’s worth, I use an Intel N100 with quicksync, and that can decode AV1 because it’s 12th gen. Works great for me.

The DLP shutter glasses are wireless, for what it’s worth. The projector inserts solid red frames to for the glasses to sync to.
- Comment on GOG: We’re thrilled to announce that the Crysis Remastered Trilogy has joined our catalog, and the original Crysis is now part of the GOG Preservation Program! 5 weeks ago:
Yeah. Generally for 3D you’ll want a DLP projector, plus active shutter glasses. They still make the glasses, you can pick them up on Amazon. They go for about $20 per pair.
- Comment on GOG: We’re thrilled to announce that the Crysis Remastered Trilogy has joined our catalog, and the original Crysis is now part of the GOG Preservation Program! 5 weeks ago:
You’re correct. Projectors still mostly support 3D, so if you’re into 3D that’s the best way to watch stuff or game in 3D nowadays, outside of VR headsets, of course.
- Comment on Reducing buffering when accessing Jellyfin via Tailscale 1 month ago:
Yes, hardware transcoding = using hardware acceleration for decoding/re-encoding the video files. CPUs do it pretty slowly but the special decoder/encoder chips on GPUs (including integrated graphics GPUs) can handle that sort of task no sweat in most cases as long as you’ve got it preperly configured.
